For a while, just before the first superhero Civil War, Tony “Iron Man” Stark and Jennifer “She-Hulk” Walters were flirting with the idea of being the premier superhero couple in the Marvel Universe. They were, by all measures, a terrible couple, with her party girl tendencies bringing out the worst in him and his inability to focus on any one thing for a sustained period bringing out the worst in her. In some ways, his embracing of fascism was a gift, finally making it clear that they don’t belong together, leading us to today’s afraid-to-be-alone query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) may have watched ‘Reality Bites’ last night and despaired to see spoiled, elitist, judgy Leilaina pairing off with smug, disaffected, ironic psuedo-philosopher Troy, asking: Who is the absolute worst, most TERRIBLE couple in fiction?

Mulder and Scully. Ruined the show for me.
I actually liked that couple, especially after they gave up trying to deny it.
Oh my god, apart from bring a terrible story which made pretty much every prominent Marvel hero an insufferable hypocrite or straight out facist and tainted several of them for good, they did THAT too?
